Daniel Haggett

London based Lighting Cameraman / DoP

I have been working in television since 1999 and since then have worked on a range of programmes from documentaries to reality shows and live broadcasts. I have worked with large crews with up to 50 people, as well as working alone as a "director / cameraman" on observational documentaries.

I began working as an assistant avid editor before moving into camera work, so feel I have a good understanding of story telling and can get the shots necessary to make life easy in the edit.

I have worked in a variety of countries and environments: from the arid heat of Syria to the monsoon rains of Malaysia to the cold tundra of Alaska and the Yukon. I know how to look after myself and the kit in most conditions.

I love working as a cameraman, the places you visit and the people you meet. I still love travelling, even if it does mean lugging lots of gear about and filling in carnets.
